We loved the fact that our accommodation as well as the host's home was mostly architecturally Thai designed and constructed, unlike any other residence in the area. The pool was pristine, no chemicals and naturally heated by the sun and air. The outdoor, covered kitchen and eating area was lovely and we had it all to ourselves. We did have to share the pool with other guests whose accommodation was directly across from our side of the pool but fortunately for us they were gone during the day which was when we spent the majority of our stay so it was perfect! if you want complete privacy, be aware you might not get it. The grounds were gorgeous and beautifully maintained. They only issue we had was the next door neighbor's dog barking a lot in the evening and into the night as well. Due to the non traditional house construction, the walls & ceiling were just wood (so beautiful) so there was no insulation at all, therefore the loud barking was quite annoying. Otherwise we loved our stay
